The Fool’s Challenge: Day 5 – Characters of unworth?

Welcome me fools to DAY 5 of The Fool’s Challenge. You ready for today?

About the challenge… anyone can participate, you can do things any way you please. Link up your post below or not. Use the graphic, don’t use the graphic, it is up to you. Just do what I tell you to do each day as part of the challenge. Link ’em up if you want to have others stop by and check out your post.

Today is Day 5 – which means:

What characters do you secretly loath, but don’t like admitting because they are so popular?

Never much cared for these characters:

Jace Wayland – Yeah he didn’t do it for me. I thought he was rather bullyish and Clary could have done better.

Patch – How can you lust after a boy named Patch btw? Not to mention a grumpy, stakerish, fallen angel named Patch? Then pair him with the BFF Vee and poor Nora, she should just get some new friends.

Oh I couldn’t stand Zoey and Bill too. And yeah didn’t like Stefan in both the books and TV. Damen tho….

And I liked Jace, even though he was a bit of a tool. And while I didn’t hate Patch, I could not stand his name. I kept thinking of a dog name Patches and Patch Adams. Picturing him as an elderly Robin Williams didn’t exactly make him swoon worthy.

I really didn’t like Jace that much either. I swear I read that series mostly for Alec, Magnus, and Simon.

I wrote about it on my blog but I do not loathe any characters. If anyone knows my blog, I was ill for 14 years and could not read. I just started again at the end of last summer. I think back to old books I read and my new ones. Like I said in my post I have a character now but I dislike him I do not loathe him. You probably would not know the book. And are we talking “Hunger Games” popular or Neil Gaiman (books) popluar? It is a short answer but you can read about today’s challenge here on my blog:

I have to agree with you on the Wrath thing, he’s not my favorite. I love him, just not to the degree that some do. Bill, I couldn’t stand him. Ok, I thought of one, Kiyo in the Richelle Mead’s Dark Swan series. I’m brain farting today. Great list!

I haven’t read most of the books you mentioned, but I stopped reading the Snookie books after the 4th one, even though my daughter devoured them all. Mostly I just hated Bill. And I kind of disliked the fact that Snookie was a virgin, but vampires who’d been around for centuries kept telling her she was the “best they’d ever had” in bed. Yeah…right. It’s easier to accept that dead bodies can get aroused, than it is to believe a virgin is magically-endowed with super-sex talents.
Haven’t read FSOG, but by all accounts, I’d have the “hero” jailed so he could discover for himself the joys of being a submissive..

I forgot on my site to mention Richard, the whiny, self-loathing alpha werewolf in the Anita Black books. He’s sexy until he opens his mouth to start with the whimpering and whining, then he’s not sexy at all and you wish he’d just take his huge “member” and go away. And how all of Anita’s alphas can be willing to share her, when most alphas won’t even share a taxi with anyone else, is even more of a stretch of my belief than accepting there are walking corpses and shifters living among us.
